does it work on the bed? i don't have a headboard to lean on

Yes, I guess it could, it's really big. And has positions that ratch back & forth for your comfort. But, you can't put alot of weight on the back of it, it's only for support. I don't know how you would put the seat part under your mattress, unless you use the foam stuff that goes over your mattress. Depends on how big your bed is, it might work for a twin size, but you would need two of them for a single or queen. Hope, this helps you out. Happy Holidays.

No, just a mattress needed. Be careful about the headboard though, ours didn't have the attachments to connect the base of the bed to the headboard piece. Also when you lean back your head will go into the bookshelf space so you need lots of pillows to support.

The headboard has legs that attach to the frame of the bed (the material of the headboard, therefore, does not go all the way down). I suppose the headboard could rest against the wall with the bed pushed up against it to hold it up, but I think it would be a little wobbly. Hope that helps.

I think it does...if you don't use one, you will have a huge gap between the matress and the bottom of the headboard.

We have a sleep number bed but didn't attach the headboard to it, because it seems to stay in place without it.

yes, as long as the holes on the headboard line up with your bed frame, I had to drill a new hole in the headboard to get it to align with my bed frame, hope this helps

No, it does not it has an adquate flatbed. i used a box spring but it made the bed comically tall and was not needed.

I believe so. I was going to do that, but the configuration of my son's room did not leave enough room. I think that the bottom of the headboard is flat to allow the head of the bed to sit up against it. They show the headboard with one of their beds.

No, there is no headboard. also I don't think it is designed for a headboard - you may find a independent headboard if necessary.

We used it for a king bed (split box springs which are actually two twin box springs), and it works great. As long as your headboard/footboard and side rails are sturdy, this will shore up your support in the middle.

Ii can't actually answer the question since we never received the parts we need to install it on a bed. I do know it will not work on anything larger than a twin bed, and it does not seem very strong, but wiggly when pulled on.

Yes - that's how we have it. The headboard attaches to the bed frame, on which the box spring and mattress sit.

Yes. It will just make the bed higher and you'll see less of the headboard (which is sort of a minus in my eyes). We're using a boxspring on my son's bed.

Yes - the bed doesn't attach to the headboard at all - we have a moveable base and no issues

Possibly anchored lower to the base. You would have to keep it on real low as it shakes the bed. Keep D batteries handy!

It depends (Don't you just love that answer?). The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that it does if the metal frame has brackets. The brackets will be flat against the face of the headboard with slots for the bolts to go through the bracket and bolt the frame to the headboard. Not all frames have these brackets.

We'll maybe, but I wouldn't think so. If you do choose to fiddle and attach it at some point above the bottom of the legs (photo) where the attachment sites are located, it would probably suffice. But with the bedframe attachment sites located near the bottom of the legs, I believe leaning on it when attached at that site would probably result in failure.
